Higher Deposit Insurance for Commercial Accounts in Banks and Credit Unions

New rules allow banks and credit unions to opt for higher insurance coverage for business deposits. This means greater security for company funds, but it comes with higher fees for financial institutions. The aim is to protect larger amounts in case of bank failures.
Key points
Banks and credit unions can insure commercial deposits for higher amounts than before.
Higher insurance means greater security for businesses, but financial institutions will pay higher premiums.
Changes apply only to commercial deposits, not individual savings (unless operating as a sole proprietorship).
